Suspended from work again.

Siena

I was suspended for two months for ill mental health in December. Was getting paid and stuff.wasn’t discriminated against or anything and I understand that. I was constantly breaking down at work crying and saying concerning stuff and some points doing concerning stuff. But I don’t understand this one. They did warn me if I was suicidal I’ll be put on another suspension- I was suicidal at work once- just said I needed to go home. They asked why and I said cause suicidal and was fine. But tuesday I asked for a break when I wasn’t intitled to one. But I never came back from the break - they rang me to ask where I was and a police woman answered so yeah they was in a nice way annoyed that I didn’t reach out to them about how I felt and that I didn’t tell them I needed to leave not just for a break.

I have a call with the occupational doctor tomorrow I am very scared incase he will say I will never be fit to return to work now. Then I will definitely feel I’ve failed and have no purpose at all & stuck in house I don’t like

Thank you. I just had my call and the job is still open for me. I said I feel okay to go back but said atleast two weeks. So now I regret saying I feel I should go back as soon as possible cause shows I don’t know when to stop.

But the main thing is the job is still open to me which is so good. I really thought would be the end of it. They have been so good with me

Shaunie I think you're bad ass for continuous resilience and ability to try your best. Trust me we can all see how hard you're trying and you should be so proud of yourself. Even if you need a break it doesn't mean that you've failed and if there's any consolation I took a few mental health breaks on this side of the year because shit gets hard. You're doing the best that you can and considering all the obstacles you've faced, girl you're doing well ❤️
